Float Your Boat

 Sail into Summer with a Float Bar 

The classic ice cream float is updated thanks to some fun and refreshing recipes. Customize your floats with fun fruit-flavored sodas like clementine, peach, black cherry, and pomegranate. Add colorful ice creams like black cherry, Blue Moon, or your favorite sherbets to the glass. Be sure to set out a bowl of colorful sprinkles, cherries, and gummy candies for toppings.
